To dematerialize expense management, the following principles must be followed:
Legal framework: article A102 B-2 of the French tax code, which governs the digitization of business expenses.
- Identical reproduction of the original: the copy must conform to the original in image and content.
- Nothing must be altered, retouched or modified.
- If the file is compressed to reduce its size, there must be no loss of information.
All documents must be digitized and stored in PDF or PDF A/3 (ISO 19005-3) format to ensure system interoperability and data continuity.
A security, compliance or time-stamping system corresponding to at least the one-star level of the General Security Reference System (RGS) must be in place, enabling the dates of the various operations carried out to be recorded.
